### Technical Details
##### General Architecture
The codebase is written in Kotlin. The architecture used is MVVM with RxJava. The `ViewModel` contains no Android related code, so the main logic can be unit tested: [example, HomeViewModelTest.kt](https://github.com/worker8/Pixels/blob/b34b0a5fdf6e5e63f9298ccea51f08afaef792ca/app/src/test/java/beepbeep/pixelsforreddit/home/HomeViewModelTest.kt). More information written in the wiki: [Architecture Explanation](https://github.com/worker8/Pixels/wiki/Architecture-Explanation).
##### Icons, Resources and Theming
SVG icons are preferred in this project, and night mode is supported. More details are in the wiki: [Assets, Resources & Theming
](https://github.com/worker8/Pixels/wiki/Assets,-Resources-&-Theming).
##### Testing, CI, Danger & Linting
Bitrise CI is used, and only JUnit test is available. No integration tests are added yet. Danger and Android Linting are used to report warnings in PR. More about how all they work in the wiki: [Bitrise CI, Danger, Android Lint Explanation](https://github.com/worker8/Pixels/wiki/Bitrise-CI,-Danger,-Android-Lint-Explanation).
##### Coding styles
`.editorconfig` is used in this project to make sure that the spacing and indentations are standardized, the `editorconfig` is obtained from [ktlint project](https://github.com/shyiko/ktlint/blob/master/.editorconfig).
